NEW DELHI: India will ask Financial Action Task Force (FATF) to put Pakistan on a blacklist of countries that fail to meet international standards in stopping financial crime, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said on Thursday.

UN blacklists JeM chief after Kashmir struggle delinked

The global money laundering and terror finance watchdog already has Pakistan on its “grey list” of countries with inadequate controls over curbing money laundering and terrorism financing.



But India wants Pakistan blacklisted, which would likely result in sanctions, Prime Minister Imran Khan said last month.

“We want Pakistan downgraded on the FATF list,” Jaitley told reporters adding that the Paris-based FATF was due to meet in mid-May and India would make its request then.

The call came a day after India claimed a diplomatic victory with a UN Security Council committee blacklisting the founder of the banned Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) group, Masood Azhar.

Pakistan’s ally China had repeatedly opposed efforts at the United Nations by Western powers to directly sanction Azhar, even though the group had already been blacklisted by the UN Security Council in 2001.

India’s foreign ministry welcomed the sanctioning of Azhar as “a step in the right direction to demonstrate the international community’s resolve to fight against terrorism and its enablers”.

“The core issue is that he has been declared an international terrorist,” Jaitley said, referring to Azhar.

Pakistan needs diplomatic push to clear FATF hurdle

In February, the Paris-based FATF had claimed that Pakistan “does not demonstrate a proper understanding” of terrorism financing risks posed by militant groups, including the JeM.

The organisation can make recommendations to any of the countries that have signed a membership charter, as well as other nations, but it has no power to impose sanctions.

This is an excellent move of India in favor of Pakistan. now an indian presence in FATF is controversial and lose all credibility.
 
This should get it through the mind of Pakistani nation, India will only accept Pakistan it ben over in front of Indian regional hegemony. Otherwise, India will never miss a chance to harm Pakistan. Harming Pakistan is there unwritten national constitution.
 
Some Pakistanis are surprised that we would like Pakistan to be blacklisted .
Are you serious ?
What do you expect ?
This is just a start of things to come.

It hurts you if you say it in the open though. It shows you not trying to use the forum for genuine purposes.

Not really , FATF has already grey listed Pakistan for a reason and India has suffered directly from terrorism emanating from Pakistan so it has a genuine interest in clamping it.

One could make the same argument about India, but still it doesn't make it ok the use the process for political purposes. I am not sure but I have a feeling this won't go well for India.

These processes have political implications since they are linked with national security.
No one stops pakistan from going to any organization against India.
 
Entire country and entire 966 millions Hindus exist to annihilate Pakistan. History has not seen this level of and perpetual hatred from a nation against another nation.
